Frequently asked questions

Is resveratrol safe during pregnancy?
Resveratrol shows demonstrated endocrine (estrogenic/anti‑estrogenic) activity in vitro and in vivo and animal/primate pregnancy studies report concerning effects on fetal/placental development; clinical data in women (IVF) associate oral resveratrol supplementation with lower pregnancy rates and higher miscarriage risk—supporting a 'suspected' reproductive hazard (h=2) and a demonstrated mechanism (m=2). Topical cosmetic use gives low but measurable dermal exposure (e=1). ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32744480/?utm_source=openai))
Is resveratrol safe while breastfeeding?
Because resveratrol has systemic endocrine activity and has produced developmental/placental effects in animals and altered pregnancy outcomes in clinical data, a cautious 'suspected' hazard (h=2) and demonstrated mechanism (m=2) apply to lactation; dermal exposure from cosmetics is low but can produce measurable systemic levels (e=1), so transfer into milk cannot be excluded. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32744480/?utm_source=openai))
Is resveratrol safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism scores follow adult pregnancy/lactation evidence (suspected reproductive/endocrine activity, h=2; demonstrated mechanism, m=2). Exposure is increased for infant skin (e +1) because immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight make low/measureable adult dermal absorption become moderate (baby e=2). No infant‑specific studies were found to change h/m. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32744480/?utm_source=openai))
